Memory

Memory is our ability to encode, store, retain and subsequently recall information and past experiences in the human brain.

It is the sum total of what we remember, and gives us the capability to learn and adapt from previous experiences as well as to build relationships. It is the ability to remember past experiences, and the power or process of recalling to mind previously learned facts, experiences, impressions, skills and habits. It is the store of things learned and retained from our activity or experience, as evidenced by modification of structure or behaviour, or by recall and recognition.

In this lesson we are going to learn a bit more about memory through a series of articles and other resources focusing on this issue and will help us understand a bit more of this essential human skill.
